Greek Yogurt Ambrosia: All the Glamour, None of the Guilt

When I was growing up, ambrosia wasn’t just the food of the gods—it was the queen of classy desserts. To update it from a classic holiday dessert to an everyday treat, I added Greek yogurt which is packed with protein. Serve it in a trifle bowl or in individual cups at your next gathering or even at the breakfast table!

Greek Yogurt Ambrosia

Serves 4-6

Prep time: 15 minutes

For the dressing

1 c Greek yogurt

2 tbsp orange juice

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

1-2 tbsp honey, to taste

For the salad

5 c fresh fruit (like peaches, nectarines, and apricots—but you can use whatever looks nice at the market!)

1 c fresh cherries (pitted)

1 c shredded coconut

Directions

Combine the dressing ingredients in a big bowl and whisk together. Add more honey to taste, if desired.

Add the fruit to the bowl as you cut it, then add the coconut.

Mix the salad and dressing together thoroughly. Serve immediately, or chill, covered, until serving.

Nine years ago, I made a vow to live my life based on three guiding principles: Love, Awe and Gratitude.
Today, instead of feeling sad, angry or anxious about The Chew’s cancellation, I will look through the lens of Gratitude and thank:
My cohosts, @chefsymon and @carlaphall, for being two of the greatest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
The crew and staff of The Chew for being so dedicated, hardworking and collaborative.
Our viewers for allowing us into your homes each day to share a laugh and a recipe — and a cocktail.
It’s been a fun run and I am so freakin’ lucky to have been a part of it. Much love, CK ❤️

This photo was taken the day my mom brought me back to the US from Panama, where I was born. She had jet-black hair and a tan, whereas I was basically translucent, with white hair and big blue eyes. Security guards stopped her in the airport because they thought she was smuggling someone else’s baby out of the country. So, I guess it’s time for everyone to come clean. I was indeed stolen. I am actually a Norwegian prince. Where’s my 👑, Terri?!?! Where. Is. My. #%^*ing. 👑?!? 🤪 Happy Mother’s Day!!! I love you. Sorry I’m so weird. ❤️
